    Flowerless oatmeal Banana Pancake with peanut Butter.

    I always wanted to know how to make banana pancakes without the flowers.

    Syncope?

    Not certain, but a good question. I should have thought to check. Has not happened since but I will check that BP. I am generally right around 120/80.

    Syncope?

    I was just sitting at work discussing a minor scheduling irritation when I suddenly felt very faint, like I was going to black out. I went from "very mild" AVS to "mild" AVS over a period of about a year and a half. I was last evaluated less than six months ago. There is no way this could be...

    4 Days to decide between bio and mechanical aortic valve

    This may be good news for me as well. I generally agree with Pellicle that warfarin is not the end of the world, but for me in particular with my gonzo coronary calcium score Inmay not want to mess with the stuff.

    a Golden Anniversary

    A much belated happy 50th anniversary to you, ****. While I may be doom and gloom much of the time, in truth your 50 year relationship with your valve tamps down even my anxiety and "Russian optimism". Congrats! To many more "valveversaries" for us all!

    Wheezing upon exertion

    If you're asking if you should go to the doc about it -- if you do and nothing is wrong, you might look like you are overly nervous. If you DON'T go and something IS wrong, you might end up dead. Easy choice IMO.

    Low risk TAVR trial ad?

    Anyone else getting the ad for the low risk TAVR trial on their YouTube feed or elsewhere? Don't think I can link to it but I have seen it like three times over the last few days when I'm watching YouTube videos. Apparently they are looking for test subjects.

    Aortic Stenosis diagnosis=severe anxiety relapse - please help if you can!(LONG POST)

    Hm. I never had much in the way of anxiety in the past, but life dumped some real doozies on me about three years ago now and I became an instant wreck in large part due to a mysterious hormonal problem (testosterone levels in the "near castrate" range, according to my doc). Recovering from...

    Ha ha! You're funny, Pellicle. We both know what I was talking about.

    Oh, I agree with what he is saying here too! I'm just surprised to see him saying it, considering some of the opinions he's expressed in the past.

    Hmm... Now THERE'S an interesting statement... It's almost like Pellicle is saying that some causes of AVS are worse than others. Looking forward to the 17th! Had not realized that **** was a contender for Guinness. Which... is also interesting.

    Introduction

    Long shot here, but Guest. Have you ever had your Lp(a) levels checked? High Lp(a) is both heritable and strongly associated with AVS, especially when coupled with the G variant of SNP LPA rs10455872

    Funny: Time Traveling Dietician

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ua-WVg1SsA I found this hilarious, as I have read about all of these arguments, and I think that guy who is always jumping out of the bathroom and screaming about eggs and whatnot lives in my head now!

    My father's Lp(a)

    For the last few years, I have shared my classroom with a teacher's aide who is a very nice woman who happens to be from Portugal. If you don't know, Portuguese women are stereotypically cleanly and this women very much fits the stereotype. She is constantly cleaning my room, being very nice...

    My father's Lp(a)

    The irony I see here is that I'm always the messy one who drives the neatnik partner up the wall. Happened in college, happens at work today. ;)

    My father's Lp(a)

    LOL! Seriously, Agian, you're like the only person I've found online who seems to have issues approaching my own. You've got high Lp(a) and CAD. Even if your AV is bivalve (it is, isn't it?), the Lp(a) may well have affected it. I wonder if you might have the same spelling error in your genome...

    Agian, can't you see that what I'm trying to say is that I LOVE YOU?!?
